My friend just traded in his 2001 Explorer for a 2007 Grand Cherokee. He has plenty of lights for the front, but do-to the square shape of the Cherokee, and the recessed license plate area, all the usual intersection lighting areas arent really viable, Any ideas??
2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, intersection lights.

- Start date
Tir3's or linear grill lights - put them on the side mirrors and running board areas.

but with different lights and also on the mirrors. Even if there is no running board, you can still attach them.

He's a Paramedic out in Long Island, he will be putting lights on the mirror, but he needs something before he enters the intersection. The vehicle is below. On his explorer, he had lights on the License plate, but notice how the plate is recessed on the bumper.
Pick which of these you want and put them in the locations that the picture had. Except for the windshield.

Some TIR's (like below from strobes n more) mounted next to the front plate facing sideways. Just without the split pattern so you don't start a riot here.
LLS, is he trying to make it as discrete as possible, or doesn't really care? My previous post was directed at approaching and clearing an intersection lane by lane, but not really side warning.
I think there are a few options and by utilizing more than one he will get some decent side coverage.
I would say look into PAR36 bulbs for the fog light area. I think an extended lens strobe in that area would put out some light towards the sides. You could also look into an extended lens TIR LED for that area.
I would definitely look at putting something on the medial wall of the high beam. I have a strobe positioned where the red dot is on my truck and that throws a lot of light out to my 45. If you put an LED hide away more forward in that housing (more towards the grille) you could probably get it flashing almost 90 degrees.
I would also look at that inner wall of the fog light housing. I can't tell from the picture if that sticks out far enough but you might get some 90 degree coverage there.
Like I said though, I think he should go with a couple of these options to maxamize coverage.

vertexes on the front fenders in front of the wheel well, SOS intersectors, or ghosts surface-mounted on the front fenders
Would you be able to mount a 10-75 bracket for the front license plate, and would that help it stick out far enough for intersections?
Linz6s flush mounted into the sides of the bumper. As soon as it gets warm out it is what I am going to do to cover my intersection lighting in my 2008 Grand Cherokee. The extended lens par36s do not stick out far enough to make a difference, but they do mount perfectly using the charger bracket. The headlights are very circular so it is difficult to mount HAWs in the headlights.
Mirrors are far enough ahead that all you need are sos intersectors. They will get the job done.
